The January 6 commission exists. It got my attention. I think this sort of a self-hating masochistic tone in a lot of the coverage though. not the coverage but I like the columns about it. the take industry. where no matter how compelling something is from January 6 the test is well there's a truck loader in a Waffle House who's not going to find this interesting because this isn't real. where and whereas an ad that's bashing somebody for saying you should free some non-violent prisoners. well, this could have might affect the guy who voted for Biden but also eats in a waffle house so that is real. and so I think that Democrats are having a problem convincing people that all this I mean I don't know what the climate would be if inflation was at two percent. but I'm not sure it would be that different. because yes there are various economic problems but if you go back to other midterms held under conditions like gas has been higher for people in some elections that the incumbent party did fine in. interest rates were higher like in 1974 inflation was double digits. I mean it's never hit double digits under Biden it hit double digits under Nixon sorry and remember and like Democrats can like do it for you know. sorry. they were incumbents we were able to win in those years. I think it's if the media environment is the new thing and Republicans have a very effective operation that when there are things that are real I mean it is really like people don't like having to pay more for something they did two years ago. but the idea that that is a crisis and that you just need to flip the blue switch to red and that will fix it is I think a function of the media dominance of the right. because there's not like I can't tell you what the Republican plan to fight inflation is. and I can tell you some of the ideas that they propose are things that when they're tried another I mean other countries like what has happened in the UK when somebody says all right in this moment of inflation we're going to cut taxes. markets say wait no that's wrong that is the opposite that will actually increase inflation.
